Dalious ate his fair share of the roast beef, while drinking his ale in almost a single chug.  It was damn good.  He then sat back, full and content, listening to all Lapis had to say.  He agreed with her and nodded to her when she was done speaking.  [color=steelblue]"Fair is fair,"[/color] he spoke.  [Color=steelblue]"I say yes to your proposals.  However, though I am appreciative for this food and drink for my crew, I feel we must make it up to you on this very night.  Therefore, let's make some coin...Ashe, there's a game of cards going on over there, let us....."[/color]

As he spoke and stood up, he found his focus and attention shifting to something completely different than was before.  It was his ears and the sound of the room that had taken over him, the Bard's music was memorizing to the pirate.  It zoned him in to where he couldn't hear his companions any longer even if they were talking to him.  He didn't even realize that he left the group and shifted over to the musician.

The bard wore a long purple robe with a white turbon on his head.  He played an acoustic guitar with his fingers only, his eyes closed as he finished a melody of perfection.  The tone and sound was something Dalious had never heard before, however from watching his hands progress different chords on the instrument Dalious quickly learned how to play the song in his own head.  When the bard finished he opened his eyes and saw Dalious standing before him.

[Color=steelblue]"Scale of B, four timing, absolutely gold finger picking,"[/color] Dalious said while applauding with the rest of the tavern.  

[Color=purple]"Indeed, do you play?"[/color] the musician asked, motioning toward another guitar set up against the wall nearby.  [Color=purple]"Please, join me my friend if you so desire."[/color]

[Color=steelblue]"Oh no I couldn't possibly, we come from different cultures mate,"[/color] Dalious was already walking toward the vacant guitar to pick it up.

[Color=purple]"Then let us fool around and find out something new together,"[/color] he started, while pulling up a chair for Dalious.  [Color=purple]"My name is Saben, welcome to the Sandy Oasis."[/color]

[Color=steelblue]"Captain Dalious Durendail, a pleasure.  Key of F sharp minor, watch me for the changes, up in pace and tone.  I'll solo after your settled then I'll give it back on the next run.  Let's jam."[/color]

Dalious finger strummed the first few chords, then started a fast clap to show Saben the tempo, which the expert musician got immediately as he showed by clapping along.  Then they played together in perfect unison.  It was on the spot, something no one from these parts had ever heard before.
